Is it another ex-HWM team car: an [a?] HWM-Jaguar?

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Unfortunately you're barking up the wrong tree.....
Nothing to do with either HWM or Jaguar - it's a smaller car than those.

Yes it is a Jacobs-MG Special but not from 1951 (slightly earlier than that).
LOCKED for you to come up with the correct year.....

Alright let's not split hairs - the car was actually built in 1949.
Another point for you.
